Have you ever considered that they might want to use the phone without a case because they personally enjoy its beautiful appearance? It's quite strange to assume that people want to show it off to others. We pay a lot of money for these devices, and for many, one important reason is the beautiful design and premium materials.

Yeah, I’ve considered that and I mentioned it in another post. Whether it has a case or not, it’s still gonna get dropped and scratched, and the money that they paid for this high dollar device is going to be a scratched high dollar device. I take my case off my phone when I get home from work and admire it like you said, but I would never carry it in my daily routine without a case. I have the 1TB model, two of them actually and I want to protect my investment. Have a good day.
Really? I don’t admire personally a phone, and it surprises me that anyone would actually take off the case and admire it after work. I leave mine on 24 hours a day. I guess each their own.
You can get transparent phone cases so you can show off without smashing your phone you know?
Why would anyone want to show off a phone? I get that it happens but why? It’s just a phone that will be worth almost nothing after a few years oh and they’re probably on a 36 months installment plan.
I haven’t dropped my phone since iPhone 4, the last time I had a scratched screen was when I fell off a bike and my phone screen was in my pocket and screen facing outside. After that, not a single scratch in 14 years of using iPhones.
Having said that, I still get a case every year for when I’m hiking or something that’s way riskier than your average day. The case immediately comes off the moment I come back home, cases are just too hideous to have them on 24/7.

There was a time I had my MacBook Air on my bed and tossed my phone next to it, it bounced and smashed my laptop screen. An associate at the Apple Store waived the repair fee without me even asking.
Anyone else read the last word as something else? 😅
I took my new iPhone 16 Pro to a wedding this weekend (did not have the time to buy a case yet) and people asked if they can compare the cameras to theirs and after taking photos it was like "hmmm I cant really see a difference. Thank you though"
LOL (neither could I to be honest)
People are more intrigued to try out my Fold.
I don’t use a case, but screen protector is the must for me.
I dropped my iPhone 13 Pro Max like dozens of times at home and office, and few times on the street, and have broken more than 10 screen protectors, but device doesn’t have any dents (the frame has some scratches and that’s it), back glass and cameras are perfectly fine.
But some reviews of 16PM let me think that it might not be as firm as 13PM.
ALL Apple phones slippery historically and presently. I always required a case.
It's an expensive option for a 1/1000+ occurrence though.
Always want to do it myself - they look so damn crisp and nice, but after 10 minutes and already feeling my nerves cracking I put on a cover again
Yeah, as long as I keep phones it would end up costing me more than the phone was worth. Light case FTW. $20, no worries.
What a silly assumption to make.... People who don't use a case do so because they don't like the added bulk. Everyone and their mother has an iphone these days... heck I see homeless people in NYC with iphones, and they all pretty much look the same... So nobody is waving their phone around to show off that they have the latest.... Most people walking around won't know the difference between a 12 pro and a 16 pro.
My case comes off every few weeks, when I take the time to clean it up and wipe the accumulated dust/grit off my phone. Other than that, it's on the phone 24/7.
lol I like this color!Ouch! At least you can get a new one in a better colour now.
I have an esr kickstand case just don’t use it much. On the upgrade program so the phone gets traded every year.
